I thought the article was kinda short though, but that's because it made an obvious point that didn't need to be spread out with more words than necessary.
Actually I thought what happened was a bright spot for MLB. The call was bad but what resulted was great and shed a good light on MLB. Thats one reason why I enjoy golf because the players still have honor and play by the rules. In other pro sports they do what they can to break and get around the rules. You will never see a Baseball, football, basketball player, call a foul on them self like a golfer when no one would even know.
